My Duo Hunting Spots

[danaconda]

Hi, I looked through this forum and realized that there isn't really too many places that touch on all levels of hunting for multi-boxers. Sure, you could look in the hunting section, but I made my multi-boxing specifically because most solo places are boring. So here is my compilation of places to hunt and who my parter was at the time (with brief decriptions included):

Levels 1-5 (Solo)
Innothule swamp newbie area (yeah, back before those {bunnies} frogs took it).

Levels 6-10 (Solo still)
Feerott lizard camps along the river bank. Easy pulls, blinding shamans are now my personal punching bags!  :evil:

Levels 11-15 (Solo again)
Started out with the named scarab-things in Rathe Mts till 12. Then moved to the wonderful zone named Paludal. Wound up staying till 19. (had druid show up at lvl 18 and we both got a full level really quickly on Phlerg Fiends)

Levels 16-20 (druid partner)
Like I said before, druid joined at 18 in PC, stayed till 19, then moved back to Feerott for more lizard hunting. This time the target was the other side of the river bank (the fallen-stone bridge).

Levels 21-25 (druid from here on, until further notice)
Ferrott lizards (ex-cazic thule ones). I grabbed 2 different temples that are very close to fallen-stone bridge, also grabbed all static lizards near the bridge. (by the way, the "fallen-stone" bridge is the one on the eastern river farthest south).

Levels 26-30
I left the feerott for Timorous Deep. I found Golra-island and killed the six(?) static golras for some nice, quiet experience. Saw one person my whole time here, I left at lvl 29 when the druid could port us both out.

Levels 31-35
First I hit Split-Paw dungeon at 29. Camped at entrance till I broke my way into the "safe room" and then pulled to there. (I try not to invis to a spot, it's much more fun to take it by force if possible) Left Split-Paw at 32 because I wanted to try out Crystal Caverns. Good Lord was I happy about that decision!

Levels 36-40
Camped the orcs at entrance from levels 32 through 37. Made tons of platinum (like 15k total) selling the velium in the bazaar (and the prices then were much lower than they are now)!  :shock: That money financed MANY upgrades for my beast. Pretty much my entire magelo right now at lvl 51 is still from the cash I made back during those levels (I had velium on a lock-down in the bazaar. I would buy out anyone selling less than me and resell for nice profit. Sometimes 3 to 4 times what I bought for if I found someone desperate to get rid of it.)
Moved at level 36/37 (druid was 37, beast still 36 stupid troll penalty!) to Tenebrous Mountains. Found the first grimling cave closest to grimling forest zone and slaughtered my new favorite cash-cows know to many as "grimlings". As if the money I made from the orcs' velium wasn't enough, these wonderful "lambs of MY slaughter" dropped bricks of Acrylia! These sold just as well if not better than the velium in the bazaar. Wound up making another couple thousand platinum for these levels. Left there at about 42.

Levels 41-45
Stayed at TM till 42 like already stated, then moved on. I had heard good things from necros about Katta Castelum guards, and since they liked my druid but not my beast (racist bastards!) I decided to pay them a visit and ask them what their problem with trolls was. During my time in TM I had killed the grimling runner three times and gotten myself two backpacks (still have ingrediewnts for last one sitting in bank, oops). Since I planned on completing the quest again with my druid, I didn't want to hose his faction there. So upon questioning the guards with my troll why they didn't like me, those mean guys picked a fight! My druid wasn't expecting this (hehe  :twisted: ) so he "accidentally" pre-buffed my beast before the fight started. Oops! No faction losses! Oh yeah, and the merchants aren't too bright. They purchased all the armor the guards dropped and also the weapons. Hello another 3kpp!

Levels 46-50 (druid at first, then at 47 switched to cleric)
Stayed in Katta till 44 and Spiritual Light, then headed to Dulak's Harbor. That is an easy zone for pulling! I tried for the components for the druid 44 LoY heal spell, but mobs were beating me too much for druid heals to keep up with. I then decided that a druid/beast combo wasn't for me so I moved the beast to the same account as druid so my necro could join my beast and cleric and make my first trio! I moved to higher level boats because I now had DPS and healing that could kill more mobs quicker and keep me alive. This worked very nicely, with me moving between three hunting spots depending on what was camped when I logged in. Those spots were Lady Di boat, Dandolak boat, and the armory. Exp was nice while it was still a hot spot. It lost the "hot spot" bonus and later I logged onto Test server and patched.... then I lost the ability to auto-follow on two of my chars, so I split them up again. The beast was already 50, and the cleric was 43 so I kept them together and partnered the necro 54 with the druid 48.

Levels 51-55 (cleric partner)
51 is not fun! I get bored very easily of hunting the same spot for days on end. So I try to vary it up if I can unless I find a spot that is so fun that it keeps me interested. So I hit the castle in Gulf of Gunthak at 51. Just left there last night and tried the Hole entrance. Both of these places offer very solid experience, and they aren't too difficult. I find I run out of mobs in the Hole before respawns so I might drop down and try constructs next. But the castle in Gunthak was definitely a fun area. The mobs are tougher than normal mobs for their level. But the pulls are easy to single. Only gripe I have about this place is that it's outdoor. I want to dungeon crawl so I left. Can't wait till the cleric is within grouping range of the necro so I can do some LDoN's. I plan on living in LDoN's racking up as many points as possible.

Anyways, that's where I'm at right now. Hopefully others can add their experiences. I know there's a hunting forum by level, but multi-boxers usually have different needs and better abilities than just solo beasties.

I did the Vamp castle in TM during my early 50s. Is fun and have a ~10min repop timer to deal with. Nurga is fun. Would also recommend getting your toons HS keyed. The crawl is fun but can be frustrating as you get closer to 60 and are limited to the north wing and then maybe the west wing if the North wing boss is up.

I box a Druid for reference

Ah, not to be critical, but you left Dulak too early, IMHO. There is the Hungry shark, and warehouses as well.

Dulak is my second home, lol.

I get toons in range of my beastlord and pwrlvl them there, starting behind first house as you enter zone, and pulling mobs to the corner, between the houses.  <mob sleeping inside prevents running and does not agro>.

From there continue to the right to first dock, and take out the first dock and light house to about 51-52.  <Vorag spawns there> Kill boat scrubbers, to spawn vorag and hopefully get haste item for neck.  Free up an ac slot :).

Once done there <lvl 53> go to Hungry shark <straight ahead of empty dock>  You can waste the bar, killing chefs to get named to spawn and get shammy armor, sells for 2-3kpp in bazaar<shoulder item> name eludes me atm.

If bar seems boring pull from the warehouse across the street. <oh, btw if you have a class/race that can sneak, loot heavily on everything bait salesman in warehouse will buy if you successfully sneak.  Ca Ching!!

Once you get bored at warehouse/bar go to Warehouses near Dandy, and pull from both to stable area near dandy dock, no roamers easy medding if necessary.

And, you can switch to armory if it opens, or even take the Boatyard near windscorn!!!!!!!

I three box, BL, CL, CHanter.

Once you hit lvl 56 head to back door to nadox<go through temple in gunthark and zone in to sanctuary of nadox.

This room has a hidden door way, appears to be a wall from inside the sanctuary.  Park pet half way down entryway, and walk up to room slowly, when mob agros run to zone, telling pet to back off until just before you zone, engage, and get on same side of mob as pet, pushinb mob in to corner. <if not you push mob in to the room and have a problem.  Once first mob is taken down park pet on his spawn point  and pull, have druid/cleric/shaman ghetto mezz the add, and continue in to entryway, rinse and repeat.

I am currently enjoying the Sanctuary zone in to nadox with my beastlord/cleric/and chanter, and often have lvl 65's stop in asking me how I pull this camp off with the level of toons I have. :)

A good place to two-box (or solo I guess) between about level 20 through 35 is Nedaria's Landing. Plenty of mobs, nice xp and out of the way. After that I went to Jaggedpine Forest and the basilisk caves. This is good to around 40.

I recently went this route while two-boxing my berserker and druid until I left my dr00d by the wayside at 40.

[jabby]

i do

4-20 Pauludal Caverns

20-35 Sol A (20-29 gobbies 29-35 gnomes)

35-50 City of Mist


With just these three zones i can PL a toon 1-50 in very very fast time, but its not the most exciting or rewarding way to do it, just the fastest.

All three of those zones have unreal zems. All work well with a druid lvl 49 DS, PC and CoM mobs do not run making it easier.
